Windows Update

Auto Hotfixer is a retired tool. We use WSUS to have replaced it. You don't need to make the change to autohotfixer when you switch to MIT WSUS. Machines in win.mit.edu should be all set for using MIT WSUS as long as you didn't make changes in your container to overwrite Windows Update settings.
